Abstract
The hereditary hemochromatosis protein HFE is known to complex with the transferrin receptor; however, its function regarding endocytosis of transferrin is unclear. We performed patch-clamp capacitance measurements in transfected HeLa cells carrying wild-type or C282Y-mutant HFE cDNA under the control of a tetracycline-sensitive promoter. Whole cell experiments in cells with suppressed expression of wild-type HFE revealed a decrease in membrane capacitance, reflecting predominance of endocytosis in the presence of transferrin. Cells overexpressing C282Y-mutant HFE displayed less intense capacitance decreases, whereas no significant decrease was observed in cells overexpressing wild-type HFE. The formation of single endocytic vesicles in cells with suppressed expression of wild-type HFE was greatly increased in the presence of transferrin as revealed by cell-attached recordings. According to their calculated diameters, many of these vesicles corresponded to clathrin-coated vesicles. These results suggest that wild-type HFE negatively modulates the endocytic uptake of transferrin. This inhibitory effect is attenuated in cells expressing C282Y-mutant HFE. Time-resolved measurements of cell membrane capacitance provide a powerful tool to study transferrin-induced endocytosis in single cells.
